Histoire administrative
The Central Minnesota Historical Assembly was a free association of historical societies, in the Central Minnesota area, joined together in a interest for mutual aid and assistance. Counties included: Aitkin, Benton, Big Stone, Crow Wing, Douglas, Grant, Isanti, Kandiyohi, Kanabec, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Otter Tail, Pine, Pope, Renville, Sherburne, Stearns, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Wadena, Wright, and Yellow Medicine.
The association's goals were to establish working relationships between members and to establish rapid exchange of information and channels of communication between members. The association met about once a year to discuss business, hear reports, and to assist members in their local programs.
During the 1980/90s, participation in the association began to wane and attempts to revitalize the program were unsuccessful. The association was officially disbanded in 1996.
